Music Cabinet
by BAILLIE SCOTT, Mackay Hugh, Oak, pine, and brass, 144 x 75 x 38 cm
Due largely to his publication of illustrated articles in The Studio magazine from 1895 to 1920, Baillie Scott received numerous commissions by mail, not only from Britain but from abroad. Nearly all were for furniture, interior designs or country houses. In 1897-99, he designed novel and colourful interiors and furnishings for the Ducal Palace at Darmstadt and a summer house for Princess Marie at Sinaia, Romania.
The present music cabinet is after a design for the New Palace, Darmstadt.
